Sibbald News: Seeding operations are well under way

By Lee Switzer

Seeding operations are well under way with branding also popping up. Recent rains have given new life to pastures, grass and trees. The local yards look wonderful. Gardens and flowers are being planted too. What joy to dig and work in soil that is soft and moist.

Sincere condolences are sent to the Molzan families on the recent passing of Leander Arndt in Penticton last week. Leander was the last student from Highland Park School just north of our place. Marvin, Allan and Bonnie flew out to attend Uncle Leander’s service. He was 95 years old. Truly a life well lived.

The calendar has flipped to June and the Sibbald Quilt Show is fast approaching. The show will take place on June 22 and 23rd at the hall. Community members will be needed to work the bar, door, and kitchen shifts, as well as, help with set up and take down. This is a fund raiser for the whole community, and needs all our hands and time to make this work. Very soon, texts and calls will be sent out asking for help - let’s all lend a hand to make this show be well run and profitable.

Doesn’t it always seem that the warm months just dance by? Take care everyone.
